No New Permits -- North Dakota -- December 29, 2015; Record Snowfall Across Parts Of The US This Past Week

And then there with twelve (or thereabouts): former NY governor George Pataki is "out" as a contender for the GOP nomination.  Lindsay Graham dropped out December 21, 2015.


Active rigs:

Active Rigs	60	172	187	187	196

No new permits. I'm sure it's occurred before during the Bakken boom but I do not recall two consecutive days in which there were no new permits.

There were three (3) permits renewed, two by EOG (both Parshall permits in Mountrail County) and one by HRC, a Storhaug permit in Williams County.

Operator transfer, from American Eagle to Resource Energy Can-Am, LLC: about 87 wells.

• permits: oldest, #21735; most recent, #30458
• all in Divide County, it appears
• American Eagle assets to Resource Energy Can-Am: asset purchase agreement: $36,750,000

Another day with no producing wells reported as completed.
